For years I was using Channel 3, but then we got a TV Sender and it interfered so switch to Chnnel 13 to get as far away fromthe TV Sender's Signal as possible
BUT Just got a centrino laptop with built in WiFi and it only appears to go to channel 11 so gone down to 11 for the home network.
Only I'm wondering if 11 interferes with BlueTooth?

There is some generalisation that says the further appart the channels the less cross-channel interferance. However, let say you're copying files over wireless connection which uses channel 11, another device operating on channel 1 in proximity will have *some* effect on throughput.
6 aint cool dude .. switch to 11 like us :thumb:
Mine was 3 when I got it - but now 6 sits right in the middle of the band that things like TV Senders use. 11 is out of that band. 13 is even better... but one of my Wifi cards wont go that high, my router can do 14 if you tell it you're in Japan.
thankyou you have solved my problem. i was having intermittent signal strength. just waiting on my flate mate to come and knock on my door complaining his xbox isn't connecting to xboxLive™. will it autodetect new router settings then?
thanks, alex (now broadcasting on channel 1)
Even tho the router is in the study at the front of house
